nice to find inés outside in her natural habitat, even if it did involve 300 vj name badges…

well, technically, vjtalks was the first thing in the programme, so it actually started with me hollering in the daylight… but this image is nice, so lets roll with it.

first vjtalk, a who’s who of the dedicated, with the camera turned on its owner

this was actually sunday’s talk, but hey, its the photo that gives the idea.
again a post taking some liberty with its posting date, it took me the best part of a month to actually get vjtalks online in acceptable form. go check, i like sunday’s.

its such a shame you can’t see the screen in the daylight, as brendan’s lovely vjtheory partner ana was full screen, getting the full lpm tour while she was still in bed in portugal… and especially surreal seeing her disembodied head glide into my periphery vision a few minutes later when i was sitting down and concentrating on vdmx… a definite moment of ‘we are in the future’ shock for me.

todd’s bio-sensor driving generative graphics craziness: the vjs are the plants. thats even better than ‘vjing with my mind’.

lpm marked a great thing: finally meeting akira, for whom a few years back i was just 48 hours away from buying tickets to buenos aires for an avit vj festival that fell through at the last minute.
his set rocked, and really good to see audiovisual work from a vj who was a musician first. his act of performance was really visceral, and he ended with the nice touch…

yet again, i largely missed yroto’s very considered triple-head audiovisual piece. what i saw was quality, and this photo just blows me away.

akira’s performance on friday was so good in fact, that on hearing he was having trouble with his gameboy, on saturday along came a gifted one from the crowd, a special edition with an audio mod to boot. and he won the vj contest, quite his festival.

there was a vj contest, and i really liked how it was run. a film was selected, the contestants had a few hours to make their clip selections etc, and they all had to make a five minute mix out of the film. and the judging was by amassing the results from a real range of judges, including myself. and thats ilan giving out modul8 as prizes, akira was up next to win the grand prize, a codanova midi controller.

having spent the best part of a week in the venue, i won’t ever forget the feeling of looking up at the contrast of classically proportioned, warm textured roof against barbaric ironwork.

i love this image of the day after, it speaks volumes to me about what is good about things like live performers meeting and the people around it. the festival marked joana’s first anniversay as a vj, and here she is helping derig.
up to newcastle’s cuture lab for a day workshop: a phd student is investigating vj performance as a vehicle for innovative hci. int_er_est_ting.

i am standing where they used to tie jet engine to the ground and turn them on. thats where the thrust went.
strange gig, and not entirely in a good way.

crazy vj gig thanks to swinhoe industries. the green room we made our own had the most pimp toilet i’ve seen in years, and these chairs outside. special.
